We here this same argument every time we decide to sign or trade for a WR, it's a never ending cycle. Moss and EL can no longer catch a ball so we need Chad? And Lloyd is gone, 3 WR's we had to have and now we need to get CJ, nobody ever stops to think that it could very well be the team concept and players around the skill players which inhibits their play, kind of ironic that Moss and El both started to get open as soon as Collins took over?

I will say this, Zorns new offensive approach better click with Campbell, if it does we wont need Chad, if it doesn't then all the Chads in the world ain't gonna help our offense. The west coast offense has had a ton of success without big name WR's, we have to many needs for this trade to make sense, we can turn that #1 pick into possibly 2 or 3 more picks by trading back into the second round, Chad Johnson is not the be all and end all when it comes to wide outs!
